An empath is a person who feels what others are feeling. Empaths are often helpers, givers, teachers, and natural healers. Empaths transmute energy.

Am I an empath?

Answering ‘yes’ to the following questions will help you determine:

Do I naturally focus most of my thoughts and emotions on others?

Am I drawn to be a giver, or helper, or a healer?

Do I often have trouble separating my emotions from other people’s emotions?

After busy social events, I feel exhausted or emotionally drained (and often don’t know why)

I have either strong resistance or a strong pull to spending time alone.

Being an Empath (Pros and Cons)

Pros: Emotional intelligence, pulse on the human experience/collective, ability to relate to complex emotions (hold space for the experience of feeling), manifest powerfully, in HIGH DEMAND (everyone needs someone who can hold space for their humanity – especially now)

Cons: Easily drained (when we do not have excellent self-care), easily overwhelmed by energy, do not thrive in dense and stagnate environments, easily manipulated by emotions, easily gas-lighted,. (That why how you feel is all that matters)

This happens because we have learned to survive by harmonizing the energy around people – if others feel better than so will we (so we think). Unfortunately, the truth is that when we focus all of our energy on the other, we bypass our deeper needs and ultimately drain our life force. Not knowing how to use and empower our empathic abilities can be detrimental to our health.

Stop trying to rescue everyone (it is not your job, you’re robbing them of their own empowerment, and draining your own energy in the meantime, it’s nonsensical).

Take up space (especially in your body)

Abundance is a mindset. It is not about money, it is about resonance. Abundance is a choice.

It is love, not fear that motivates an abundance mindset. Desires fuel us, passion empowers us, and excitement keeps us creating. When we commit to this way of being, we become servants of peace – true masters of the matrix. We beat the game.

However, we cannot step into our role without our full hearts. We cannot receive heaven without the “well spring of life.”

That is why this all seems so scary. Going toward the heart means going toward the wound – the wound of lack. We must meet the unmet needs.

You know you are in the lack matrix if your primary emotions are anger, fear, resentment, and disempowerment. In lack, we fog our clarity, feel disconnected from intimacy, and cut off from community. Lack is ultimately destructive isolation.

Clarity, joy, and creative expression, however, dominate our emotions when we come from an abundance mindset. Abundance connects us to others, ignites our passions, restores our courage, and gives us access to innovation and imagination. Abundance is the ultimate adventure in evolution.

Empaths: Now is the time to let the old matrix die. You are a touch point for the collective, and when you shift, BIG THINGS HAPPEN. You not only free yourself, you free everyone in your world who is counting on you to hold him or her together. You set them free because you embody freedom, and therefore give them access to its reality. True freedom is empowerment, being free from the intermediary.

When empaths make the shift, the world changes.

If you are ready to step into abundance and get your power back, here are seven essential keys to help you captain these new waters.

If you want your business to evolve with the current trend, it must support a lifestyle of thriving and conscious awareness.

Your intuitive, and your business should be built around your unique gifts, not the other way around.

Unfortunately, most business models are trapped in the lack matrix. They don’t take into consideration the full liberation of humanity and the fact that we are evolving into conscious manifesters. The needs of the collective are changing, and if you want to survive in business, it’s important to learn how to line-up to those needs — by getting clear about your own.

In this class, we put emotional/mental/physical expansion first. If it’s not in alignment with your heart’s thriving, it’s not worth investing your time in.

We also carefully go over the 7 Laws of Astronomical Abundance to make sure motives and intentions are in alignment with the win/win/win (if it’s not, the Universe won’t support it).

Week 2: Know Your Niche

Many empaths underestimate the value of their gifts and therefore sell themselves short. This week we focus on your unique empathic gifts and to create a niche with your particular genius. Once you know what you’re good at and how to uniquely define it, your value becomes more accessible and visible to your clients.

Week 3: Define Your Ideal Client (or Ideal Focus)

Knowing everything you can know about your ideal client saves A LOT of time and energy often wasted in generic marketing. Once you know WHO you want to reach, you can speak directly to them (and connect to their resonance with a lil’ manifestation magic).

In week 2, we define every aspect of your client and pin point exactly why you are their perfect match.

(We’ll also cover how conscious manifestation works, and why your resonance and transparency play a far greater role in customer acquisition than advertising or content marketing).

(Hint: It’s all a bit more magical than you may think). This is the next level of business.

A Master Class highlights your unique genius and is essential to let people see who you are and what you are here to give. In week 4, I give you tools to write the ideal Masterclass that allows you to synthesize, simplify, and emphasize your genius. It’s not really about the class, it’s about getting clear on your value.

We’ll also cover ways in which you can use the Masterclass to highlight your services and create a powerful and strategic dialogue with your ideal client.

Week 5: Self Check-in

This week we take time to dive deep, meet any unmet needs, and test everything we’ve created against the 7 Laws of Astronomical Abundance (the navigation keys of the Abundance Paradigm).

Let’s crystallize your intentions and make sure your business approach meets the deeper needs of your empire. Week 5 gives you the opportunity to reflect on where you are in the process, and readjust anything that may feel out of alignment with the win/win/win.

Week 6: Finalize Your “Package”

Our 6th and final week is all about finalizing what you offer. By the end of this week, you will have your NEW business model tailored and customized to thriving in the Abundance Paradigm. We will have done the necessary “shadow work” to clear and purify any energetic lines that may have been blocking abundance from flowing into all areas of your life.

This is the perfect class to get you mentally and emotionally prepared to take on your first client (or revamp what you currently offer to fit a lifestyle more conducive to thriving and expansive evolution). Invaluable info that meets the deeper emotional and mental needs of running a business.

This is everything I wish I would have had when I got started.

The class will be held in a private Facebook group with weekly “lives” with me. You’ll have 24-hour access to the content at your convenience.
Class begins November 18th.
Only 15 spots available.

How to Make Love to Your Matrix (rather than being its slave!)

So you want to be a master of the matrix, eh?

Good. You’re in the right spot. Because this entire reality is based upon belief, it seems only logical to assume beliefs are the universal currency. And what fuels beliefs? Emotions. Lucky for empaths, we have that fuel in ample supply.

The question is, how do we cash in our gifts?

Because we’ve been programmed by the matrix of lack to tune out of our primary navigation system (our emotions), we have functioned in a reality in which we believed we could not meet our own needs (we believed we were poor, despite our invaluable resource).

This caused us to develop a slavery mindset and a deep resentment toward the matrix itself — which represents the beliefs we enslave ourselves to.

Beliefs determine the perspective we have about our reality (and therefore, how it will FEEL to us), so when we have a primary belief of in lack, we will always expect it. And because we have fueled that thought so continuously, it has become a solid reality.

But we can shift it. We can tune into a new thought, a new perspective, and therefore begin to change the way our neurons fire. If we do it long enough, we will create another solid reality, one that reflects the new truth of what we believe. One of abundance.

The two foundational beliefs of the Abundance Matrix are:

There’s enough (and always will be)

You’re enough (and always will be)

We’re in this together (win/win/win). We are in fellowship with ALL aspects of ourselves (body, mind, and heart). Likewise, we’re in fellowship with the other, and the planet. Our war with our humanity ends. We allow ourselves to receive the full restoration of our hearts (the ‘wellspring of life.”). We liberate our humanity from the slavery of lack.

Feel the difference?

Which matrix will you fuel with your emotions? As an empath, YOU are one of the primary suppliers of beliefs on this planet. Use that gift wisely!

In the “Making Love to Your Matrix”class we will learn how to change our core beliefs of lack into abundance (by going back to the original wound for the purpose of restoration).

We’ll learn how to:

*Access our authentic emotions so we can know more clearly what we need

*Reprogram our core beliefs

*Re-negotiate contracts we mad in the lack matrix into new contracts and agreements with the Matrix of Abundance

*Embody our vision

*Embody our dream

*Re-associate triggers for lack into triggers for healing and restoration (love)

This class is especially geared toward anyone ready to move into a relationship with their empathic gifts that benefits all areas of their life (especially their “work.”). You may be someone wanting to start a more intuitive based business, or want to learn to access your intuitive gifts in your business decisions. Whatever the reason, this class is designed to align you into a more personal, intimate relationship with your creations so they give to your life force, rather than drain you.

This is the only time I will be offering this class LIVE (held in a private Facebook group). A perfect opportunity to connect with me more personally and directly (and with others who are learning to love their matrix into heaven, too.

Class begins August 14th. Only 22 spots available. Registration closes as soon as spots are filled!

*Reassociate triggers to be points of powerful creation rather than detrimental reflections

*Practice tthe magic of affirmations (using our words consciously for healing, restoration, and abundance, rather than for creating more lack).

This class is a POWERFUL restorative tool. Use it wisely.

Can’t wait to connect!

“Gold clingeth to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.”

Remember, when we refer to “gold” in this class, we’re referring to our own treasure – the treasure within our hearts. This is our “wellspring of life” and it is crucial to guard, watch over, and protect.

We do this through discernment. Discernment is KEY. And discernment is quite different than judgment. Judgment withholds love based on what we believe is “bad” or “good.” Discernment remembers that love is the key to restoration, and rather than withholding it, love sets boundaries to protect the heart from being drained of life, and its treasure destroyed.

Our treasure multiplies as our love multiplies (especially our love for ourselves). If we don’t love ourselves, we have no motivation to protect ourselves – we willingly stay in slavery because we don’t believe we’re worth saving.

Discernment helps us determine how to best spend the treasure in our hearts, in ways that give us the better returns on our investment. Remember, our inner treasure is self-sustaining. If we learn how to use this treasure to guide us throughout life, it is impossible to be a slave to the Matrix, because we never run out of the Spirit of Life.

When it comes to the Matrix, we must learn to discern how to best put our treasure (hearts) to use to protect us from enslavement.

THE POWER OF THE HEART

Our hearts govern our emotions, and emotions just happen to be the fastest and most powerful vibrations – much stronger than thoughts. In fact, the Institute of HeartMath has proven the heart to have its own “brain” – about 60 times more electrically powerfully than the brain, and 5000 times more magnetically powerful than the brain.

The mind is meant to protect the heart, not exploit it or use it. And herein lies the problem: Since the “Age of Enlightenment” humanity has placed the brain as the “all powerful” function of human capacity, while the heart (and its immeasurable treasure within) as a mere afterthought – even an imposition to our evolution. This couldn’t be further from the truth. When it comes to emotions, we are still in the Dark Ages.

HEALING THE HEART

A deep wounding has occurred at a very vulnerable level on the planet – it happened at the level of our hearts, our intuition, and our spirits. You could say it is the “feminine” side of humanity (or the feminine principle) and it is this energy that is coming to the surface to be healed.

Your mind alone won’t lead you out of the Matrix of Lack – it will only get you more tangled within its intricate web. Your heart carries the map. This is why it’s crucial to be present, attentive, and non-judgmental towards your vulnerabilities. Forgiveness (of self and others) is KEY to Universal expansion and growth. It is indeed, the key to immortality (aka Heaven on Earth), and therefore, the GATEWAY to stepping out of the control of the Matrix of Lack.

So how do we learn to trust our hearts?

First and foremost, we must remember that our hearts are GOOD. They may be shut down, broken, vulnerable, and misunderstood, but they are our power, and our freedom only comes from the RESTORATION and RELEASE of our hearts from the control of the mind. As the famous saying goes, “the mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.”

Today, spend some time with your heart. Take several deep breaths, close your hearts, place your hand on your heart, and allow it speak to you. Refrain from judging what comes up. What you feel (regardless of what it is – anger, sadness, despondency, etc.) is a MESSAGE for you. And the message is meant to show you where we are on your Life Map. Don’t shoot the messenger. Thank it. Listen to it. If we want to be free from the Matrix, we must allow our treasure to multiply, and our treasure is within the HEART. Don’t bypass it.

Here’s a little message I recorded in the mountains this morning as a reminder for our hearts:

Learn about the role of emotions in creating reality, how emotions fuel our point of attraction, the importance of self-trust/healing, the role of desire in creation, the power of NOW, and practices that help remove common blocks to manifesting.

Today I received an essential comment on an article I wrote a couple year ago entitled, “Empaths vs. HSP (They’re Not the Same Thing). This article represents a time I was breaking free from much of the interpersonal warfare with some HSP in my family (and learning a TON about my empathic abilities in the process).

You can read the full comment at the end of the actual article, but I wanted to post some of the highlights, as well as my response back to her.

This comment, I feel, voiced what many HSP feel and wish others would understand about them. While my response is what I assume many empaths feel and wish HSP would understand about us.

Thank you for sparking this article, Crystal! Also, I edited my entire response in the comment section, so I’m sorry if you received a million revisions! 😉

HSP and Empaths — I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Response from Crystal:

“I am truly HSP. The way you describe a HSP on Youtube was degrading and sounded selfish. HSP were born this way, so if you were truly an empath you’d see that and be more understanding of the pain we endure.

Have you ever thought that it could be your own thinking that created the affliction inside of you because of your thinking of it? Yes, there are truth empaths that experience people’s pain from far. But HSP have already experienced so much pain in our lives that we don’t have to HAVE that person’s pain to understand what that person is going through..

HSP have an extremely, some unbearable nervous system, so with that comes pain and emotion go so deep that it’s far beyond words. I tend to believe that you are not as empathic as you claim to be because you would be more gentle with your output about HSP. A truly HSP is sensitive to the core, physically too. Their skin, hair, and organs are even fragile. It’s not just about experiences, emotions, etc. It’s a physical manifestation from birth that is unspeakable…

Comparing empaths and HSP is like comparing plants. Like a tender violet to a tree. They’re both plants but if you touch a violet it dies. HSP do pick up other people’s energies, the atmosphere, and surroundings very easily and it stays inside us. We tend to be absorbers, picking up others energies is debilitating for us because of our delicate nervous system…

It’s like the old (demeaning) saying “thin skinned people.”

HSP is almost like handling a burned patient. You should be able to sense that if you were a true empath. But it appears there’s no real empathy here for HSP because if there were, your definition would have been more empathetic. It would be muchly appreciated if there were more understanding about real HSP. Thank you.”\

My response:

Thank you for sharing these thoughts. I agree. I was expressing lower vibrational emotions in this article, which makes us immune to our more subtle sensitivities. I was in the expression of my experience, giving a voice to the unhealed side of my empathic self.

In fact, recently I did a video talking about the jaded place I was in when I wrote many of my articles at this time. I was experiencing emotional pain in relation to my own sensitivity with HSP in my family.

Unhealed HSP tend to use empaths (unconsciously) to feel and express those lower vibrational emotions they reject within themselves, then shame and emotionally manipulate empaths for feeling them. They do this because of a belief that only *certain* emotions or vibrations are acceptable to feel (obviously, this comes from trauma).

Although I was expressing my “war” with HSP in this article, I will always leave it up because it is an authentic reflection of where I was at the time, and the reality of an empath: we feel others – most especially the emotions they reject, suppress, and deny.

The conflict between HSP and Empaths lies here. Many HSP identify so strongly with being “good” that they develop an acute aversion to lower vibrational emotions, which can cause them to construct a superiority complex that demeans and belittles the very REAL human experience of feelings like anger or jealousy, or bitterness.

Because HSP are so sensitive to these lower vibrations, they often project their rejection of these vibrations onto the empath and then paint the empath as the “enemy” for expressing them (which justifies withholding love, or in their mind, their sensitivity to the empath).

This, in turn, triggers the empath’s deep wound of rejection, which can cause them to either try to “earn” the HSP’s love back, or attempt to appease the HSP by promising to change. Both of these options invalidates the emotional experience of the empath, and reinforces the belief that “I can’t feel what I feel because it will hurt someone.”In reality, what we are saying is “I can’t feel what others are uncomfortable feeling.”

A better option for empaths is to validate our emotional state, REFUSE to withhold love from ourselves (or the other) for feeling, allow the HSP to interpret the vibrations however they choose (without taking it personally), and let the emotion go.

The point is, we do not have to modify, minimize, or lie about how we feel. However, understanding the nature of an HSP can certainly help us remember the rejection of emotion is not about US – it is reflective of a deeper wound.

Your response helped me remember the second agreement (from book THE FOUR AGREEMENTS),

“Take nothing personally.”

If an empath allows the HSP’s fear of lower vibrations to be internalized within, we agree to the HSP’s story (lower vibrations = I’m unsafe). This is a profoundly damaging belief for an empath to have, as it causes deep internal conflict about the very essence of what we are. By nature, we cannot reject our emotional experience without making ourselves sick or blocking Life Force.

Although I know it was probably unintentional, your tone in this comment is reflective of this dynamic. Because I was expressing lower vibrational emotions in this article, you imply that I am somehow “unworthy” to call myself an empath and should be ashamed of my feelings.

Your comment also implies one of the biggest misunderstandings humans have about emotions: that they are unchanging and stagnate. Just because I FELT this way over two years ago does not mean this is what I AM. A belief that we ARE our emotions suggests that we are also powerless to them.

Lower vibrational emotions do temporarily mute our sensitivity to higher vibrations (we cannot feel both appreciation and anger at the same time), but getting angry is how we, as empaths, free ourselves from being controlled by the emotional needs of others. Anger helps release us from the co-dependent agreements and interactions that have caused us to self-destruct. (And many times, those co-dependent relationships are with HSP).

Feeling emotions (ALL OF THEM) is not wrong. This article does express my Shadow, my limited perspective, and my projections, but it does not make me any less “empathic,” or my experience of HSP any less valid.

Empaths and HSP are extremely sensitive to each other because they both represent the contrast of emotional vibrations. Ultimately, we are perfect reflections of each other.

HSP may be “born” with sensitivity, but they are not born with the Matrix of lack and fear. Fear of lower vibrational emotions comes from trauma and is the root of why so many HSP feel unsafe in this world. In order to be free, HSP, just like everyone else in the lack matrix, need to reprogram their understanding about what it means to be highly sensitive so it becomes a superpower, not a handicap.

*Special note: These dynamics can exist between anyone (empath, hsp, or not) and vacillate constantly. We all play all roles, but we have patterns, beliefs, and habits that often keep us repeating the same story. We are not saying “this is the ONLY way it is!” but rather, “this is one way it is.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about the leverage points for our current shift. We are entering uncharted waters and many people are clinging like hell to the old matrix of lack, fear, and powerlessness.

Why?

We fear the unknown. Deep down we wonder if we are worthy of abundance. We fear the mistakes we’ve made and we haven’t fully validated, forgiven, and shifted our own pain. Our reptilian minds focus intently on survival, and we make fear our constant reality by supporting a mindset of lack as we affirm repeatedly (through our words and actions) that we don’t have enough.

But what if I told you there is a new matrix currently being built by the dreamers, the creators, and those who dare to imagine the world where we THRIVE? It’s much less populated than the matrix of lack and without malicious competition (because there is plenty for all, and those who come KNOW they are sovereign creators and believe it is their birthright to create worlds!).This kingdom is ours for the taking if we would but receive and hold the vibrational reality of its abundance. It’s given by grace and strengthened through faith.

People don’t talk much about faith anymore. We value the mind above hope and put our trust all too easily in the system that is based on a philosophy of lack. Faith requires us to believe that humans can choose love over fear. It asks us to step outside of the naysaying/doomsday prophecies and use our minds to create something new. It dares us to forgive everyone, everywhere, in all timelines and realities — especially ourselves.

Faith can and does move mountains (as they say). Where are you currently investing yours? What matrix are you putting your faith in?

My hope and prayer is that you’ll join me in your thoughts, expectations, and intention, to create a world of abundance.

This is a special offer is a significant discount with the archived class material for those wishing to lock in the lower price before the new cleanse is released!

We’ll focus on our relationship with:

*Our Bodies

*Our Emotions

*Our Thoughts

*And our Manifestations!

In this 8 week mentoring we will focus on uncovering deeply integrated messages stored in our chakras and emotional field, establishing harmony and communication between the physical body and our emotional selves, and using our minds to help facilitate a clean, strong, powerful relationship with body.

For many empaths, the physical body is the most difficult to get in harmony with. This is primarily because of the tremendous amount of energy we pull in and process on a daily basis. For empaths, it’s important not to allow our emotional state to control us.

Seasoned empaths who are ready to step into the next level of their empowerment (discover and remove any blocks keeping you from starting that healing practice, offering your services, writing that book or diving in to a creative project).

*The class is now available only on archive

Understanding the function of our chakras and their role in the life force and vitality of our emotional world, is a powerful way to assist with the disorientation and confusion that can occur during times of change and transformation. And this is a powerful time of change.

We best be ready. 🙂

Chakra Cleanse Class $111

Here’s what some from the past beta test group have said:

“Through your course, I have discovered parts of myself that I didn’t know were possible. I have more of a ‘hold’ on my emotional self and am at peace with things than ever before. When you said that we are going to be dying and creating ourselves again, I didn’t know that literally, an old self would die and I would become new. But …. here I am!

I am learning so much about myself, and how I view(ed) the world. Thank you for giving me the tools to discover myself. This is the greatest gift I could imagine.” Andrea N., Florida

“This has single-handedly been the most overwhelmingly aligned, useful, perfectly on-point message that I’ve ever received. I am wildly grateful and blown away, and just…. TOUCHED by… just… your knowledge and your heart and your ability to empath. I’m not kidding. This response resonated on levels that I haven’t had words for. I’m LITERALLY making a map with pictures and symbols of what you wrote so it can be imbued deeper within me because it’s truly my life education…it’s what I’ve been seeking. so fucking blessed. thank you, my heart is just completely overwhelmed with love. sending so much to you.” Chelsea R., Oregon

“My therapist is overwhelmed and thrilled at the amount of progress I’m making in this course. Thank you so much for providing a space to look deeper and truly get free from old beliefs and programs. I feel more optimistic than I have in a long time.” Jenny P., New York

“I’m not going to lie — it’s been intense! But whoa! My eyes are open. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned about myself. I feel like I have a whole new set of tools for this next journey of my empowerment. THANK YOU!” Maddie A., Oregon

A spider doesn’t allow a careless swipe from a wayward wind, to keep it from continuing its masterpiece. A spider will always weave.

In many ways, Chakra Center feels like my first public web.

Despite its unpolished and unrefined appearance, it’s is my small platform to say, “Yes. We do exist. We’re not alone. And although it may not be clear yet, we’re doing something epic on the planet. Wait and see!”

As we heal the wounds from our own lives, we hold a new space of love and understanding for humanity. (I believe the Bible calls us, “intercessors”). But we must have our whole heart with us on the journey. We must be truthful about our needs, and we must love ourselves enough to discern between our deepest desires, and our casual wishes. Finally, we must allow our desires to matter. Because they do.

“Above all else, watch over your heart. For it is the well-spring of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)

Unfortunately, most negative programming is designed to make us doubt and condemn our true desires (which is counterproductive to the principle of creation, as it is desire that fuels life).

This photoshoot marks a shift in my willingness to be vulnerable with my desires and to trust the Universe is for my healing and restoration.

It’s all quite magical how it manifested, actually. Here’s a quick synopsis:

(Logged PRIVATE DETECTIVE style, for the sake of brevity):

Halloween 2016:

A dear friend of mine happens to be in Colorado while I am there visiting my brother. We decide to meet-up on Halloween day, at Tonic Oxygen Bar in Boulder.

Just before connecting, I find an ISIS oracle deck at a nearby shop. It practically jumps off the shelf for me.

I take out the deck while a woman wearing cat ears serves our drinks.

We pull a card.

MIRACLE of ISIS: Miraculous Healing of the Goddess.

“Isis was known as a talented practitioner of the healing arts and was capable of miraculous healing. No matter how impossible it may seem to imagine your life without this old wound, addiction, problem, relationship issue, or inner struggle, you are guided now to accept the possibility of miraculous healing, to let go and let the Goddess be…

Healing means letting go of attachment to outcome and how that outcome might be achieved, and opening to the Divine genius of healing that seeks to express the perfection of Divine Love through you now.

To hand something over for healing, especially when it has been a long-term or persistent difficulty, or simply seems to be too great or overwhelming to be healed, takes a radical change of mind and heart! To dare to hope without becoming attached to how or when something can happen, to surrender without forgetting to follow your intuition and act accordingly, to trust even though you may have been disappointed or hurt in the past – all these things take skill and courage.

Yet these are the requirements for us to surrender into the great healing of Divine Love. Lady Isis speaks through this Oracle and says to you that recovery from trauma and emotional healing is not only possible, but if you are willing, it can happen for you now. No matter the depth of grief, loss, despair, fear or anger, Love can and will absorb all of it.

This Oracle is also an indication that a spiritual gift of awakening of deep healing ability at a new level, are coming your way. Keep your eyes and heart open and let go of doubt or fear about opening up to a new level of proficiency. Dedicate your work to Divine Love and trust that it will flow through you stronger now. You are capable of great work when you trust in your heart and the love of the Divine flowing through you with total surrender.”

(Side note: Doesn’t the depiction of Isis in the card look like (@dakotajohnson ) ?!

Everything about this card resonates. In fact, here’s a quick backstory:

The first time I met Kelly was at a coffee shop in Sedona. I was on my way to the Conscious Life Expo in LA with Charis Melina Brown (featured in photos) and a couple Alchemists. We got in line behind a girl with long blonde hair who turned and smiled warmly in a gesture of recognition. Turns out she had seen my YouTube videos, and knew Charis.

“You’ve helped me remember I’m not alone.” She said as Charis officially introduced us. “Not many out there navigating these waters with clarity.”

Log of events:

A couple months later Kelly arrives at a retreat I am hosting with Charis in Sedona. She places a tiny rhodonite crystal in my left hand. I feel an electric pulse go up my arm and into my heart. My eyes instantly swell with tears, which she mirrored to me in her expression.

“I know.” She smiled. “I had a feeling you needed it. It’s a deep one.”

Empathic connection.

Colorado Plants the Seed:

Now we are here, in Colorado, another unplanned encounter.

I wonder many times during our conversation if we are dead, or if I am crazy. It feels like a vivid dream and all of our connections and resonance feels attached to another time and place.

A bee stings me a few days later when she visits at my brother’s house. She gives me lavender essential oil to soothe the burn.

“Bee medicine.” I say as I dabble the oil on the sting and hold back tears. “They told me they were going to do it.” Which is true. Just a day earlier, one particularly curious bee had flown around me obsessively with what felt like urgent news. When I asked what he wanted, I simply felt a statement: “Standard procedure. Expect a sting soon.”

I am not sure why the ordeal makes me emotional, but a deep feeling of grief rises and is soothed, simultaneously as Kelly hands me another crystal. This time rose quartz.

“I have boxes of rose quartz waiting to be showcased.” She told me, before driving off.

Seed plants successfully.

March 2017:

It’s 5 months later.

I receive a vision of rose quartz photographed around the wisdom of red rock (Sedona’s calls always feel vivid and aromatic).

I know the photographer I want. I know the perfect designer. I know the ideal model. I know Kelly has rose quartz that wants to be photographed. I’m not sure how the trip will manifest, but it does. Everyone can make the dates, the house we want is available for rent, the money to pay for the shoot arrives. The Universe gives us a green light.

Everyone weaving the creation on the shoot is an empath. Trusting others with our gifts is where we’ve been wounded. Our shared vulnerability and sensitivity creates early, respectful bonds.

The magic begins to unfold.

If Chakra Center marks the beginning of my death, this photoshoot represents the genesis of my rebirth.

The butterfly comes out of the cocoon.

You know how Oprah always asks, “What do you know for sure?”?

Sedona reminded me of one thing I do know for sure: our hearts always seek restoration.

Many thanks to the rose quartz for calling us together for a proper initiation. How fitting to begin here, with the heart of creation, at the base of Cathedral Rock, celebrating new and renewed life. I love the Goddess in her many changing forms.

This table is mostly empty, but I invite you to the evolving feast.

This is only the beginning.

*Stay tuned for my upcoming interview with Charis Melina Brown. We will be talking all things magic, shadow integration, witches duels, and what it feels like to transcend the “Victim/Villain/Savior” paradigm.

After working with hundreds (literally) of empaths the past 5 years, I have realized the most powerful thing I can teach and offer, is the mindset shift to get UNSTUCK from the matrix. Most of us are stuck because we don’t understand the power and potential of our EMOTIONS, our sensitives, and our desires. We don’t understand the GOLD we have within us (or how to invest it).

But here’s the secret most people don’t realize: once an empath gets free from from strongholds, they become virtually unstoppable. This is because empaths are (by nature) extremely powerful. The problem is we’ve internalized beliefs and mindsets that stand in direct opposition to our thriving.

Empaths get stuck because they try to play by other people’s rules — people who do not function emotionally, mentally, or physically anything like them. And because we feel so innately different from most entrepreneur types, we often come to the (false) conclusion that we are not “business” people. But what if I were to tell you there is an entirely different way of doing business, based on intuition, extreme self-care/self-love, and yields results that actually take into account your strengths?!

My one-on-one mentoring focuses on dissolving strongholds that hold us back from thriving, self-love, intimacy, and most importantly, ABUNDANCE.

Common strongholds for empaths are:

*Low self-esteem

*Weight issues (feeling disconnected from the body)

*Co-dependent relationships

*Work issues (not thriving in 9-5 jobs)

When it comes to any habit, continual redirection of focus and patterns is KEY to make lasting shifts. Having someone walk with you through the process can be a POWERFUL tool to overcome even the most well-practiced behaviors and mindsets.

Here’s what’s cooking:

8 Week: How to Get Out of the Matrix 1:1 Mentoring for Empaths

Mastermind Reset Bootcamp: 1.5 hour initial mastermind where we examine where you are, where you want to be (or what you want to create), the shortest, most powerful way for you to get there, and the overall intention and objective of our time together (basically, we map out the win/win for our 8 week mentoring). $222 value

2 phone/Skype Sessions per week (for 8 weeks): This is where we keep you accountable to action as well as allow space for your emotional mindset to be reset and refocused. Most of the work to get out of the matrix involves changing our beliefs regarding what we’re capable of and what’s possible. During these sessions we will look at the conscious and unconscious beliefs that have kept you stuck inside the matrix. In fact, each week we will go through a different chakra to clear any blocks and reset our point of attraction. These calls are NOT therapy, they are accountability, action, and transformation. – Value $1456

1 Superpower Blueprint: At our half-way point (4 weeks) we put together a “Superpower Blueprint” of your strengths, your progress, and best potential outlets for personal thriving. Here, we map out your empathic strengths and patterns we’ve discovered through our time together. This gives you an opportunity to begin charting the next course of action in alignment with your gifts and abilities. (It’s a valuable tool to give you a self-check on how well you are using and taking care of your abilities so you can thrive) Value $222

How to Get Out of the Matrix Class Content + Chakra Cleanse class content: In addition to the 1:1 mentoring, you’ll receive all of the “How to Get Out of the Matrix” + Chakra Cleanse class content, as well as access to the private Facebook group where you can connect with others who are on the journey of freedom from strongholds. Once a month we will hold a group call in the class arena, which gives you an opportunity to hear others stories and make valuable connections for future endeavors. (*This class will be available by itself without the mentoring option for $555). Value – $555

+ Lots and lots of feedback, support, and encouragement!

At the end of our 8 weeks together, I want you to feel reset, refocused, and renewed with energy and the tools on how to move forward with any endeavor your heart is leading you toward. This is perfect for those of you about to start your own intuitive business, or want to learn to use your empathic abilities to help you thrive.

My mentoring model is based on the win/win. It must be a win for BOTH of us. Therefore, I am VERY selective about who I work with. If we’re not a good match, it’s not worth spending your money or my time on trying to make it work. I work with people who are truly ready to commit to change, do the work, and reap the rewards.

I want your investment to yield results that will launch you into your most abundant self. Through this 8 week program, I teach you how to tap into your “well-spring of life,” (your heart) for its unlimited resources and potential, and how to utilize your empathic abilities to help you thrive (rather than feel your sensitivity is keeping you from success). We work carefully and specifically to identify and clear out any beliefs or unhealed experiences that may be blocking your growth, and we give you the mindset/vibrational tools necessary to start making your dreams a reality.

Abundance is not something you must go “out there” to find. It must be tapped from the inside. And this just happens to be what empaths do best. The trick is to focus our gifts into a self-sustaining flow.

Can’t wait to go on this journey with you to help you discover your own hidden treasures.

*I originally sent this out as a private email to people who have specifically asked about 1:1 mentoring. I currently have 2 spots left for the next round of mentoring (only 5 slots total). I’m very selective about who I work with. Please email me via the contact section of this website if you’re interested and we can set up a 5 min Skype call to make sure we are a right fit. Spots will go fast.

*THIS IS NOT THERAPY.*

*Due to the nature of this program’s time schedule, no refunds will be made once we begin.

Valentine’s day doesn’t have to be exclusively about romantic love. We can use this day as a way to celebrate love in every form (and believe me, the world could use a more intentional focus on love these days!).

I have an extra reason to celebrate love this week, as we are on the heart chakra in the Chakra Cleanse mentoring group. Needless to say, I’ve been focusing a lot on my heart and remembering how powerful the energy of LOVE really is. Love restores. Love heals all wounds. Love can break any curse.

With this particular power in mind, I wanted to prepare an intentional space to create Valentine Day wishes with some of my closest friends.

Objective: A fun excuse to get together with friends and create Valentine Wishes for everyone you love! (What do you wish for your loved ones? Or maybe for strangers? Imbue that wish like a charm into your Valentine creation).

What was used:

*Guava Goddess and Cosmic Cranberry Kombucha (in tea cups…because it is tea, after all): to enliven the senses, detox the body, and refresh the mind

With our words we can bless or curse. With creations we can restore and heal. Everything we do, in fact, expresses something to the world (energetically). It’s powerful to slow down and focus our true intentions into what we create.

Can you feel the magic? If so, receive it! Because these are my wishes for you!

I wanted a powerfully charged spot to contemplate, focus, journal, and most importantly, have fun with my creativity. Because I am a visual person, it helps to have a focal point for my chakra cleanse, which includes my intentions, the overall energy of the class itself, as well as my personal wishes and ideas.

Merely a technology for using symbols, colors, and powerful associations (that have personally meaning), to help shift you into a more heart-centered, inspired space, a wishing spot (or Master Vision Piece), is a way to also allow your heart and your mind to connect consciously.

Emotions fuel manifestations stronger and quicker than thoughts, so having a Master Vision Piece that has personal meaning for you, is powerful fuel for manifestation.

Because I’m a big fan of design magic, I called in the vision and style of Ashley’s Golden Dream Decor. Ashley’s all about capturing wishes and making them reality, and what she created for me is the PERFECT wishing spot (altar).

Take a look!

Week 1: Root Chakra

I included all elements that resonate with the root charka, including my theme for week 1 of the Chakra Cleanse, which is PEACE.

Hanging candles and colored bottles represent all of the Chakra colors. This adds dimension and depth to the creative space, and surrounds me with the therapeutic enegy of the chakras.

We included essential oils known for balancing the ROOT chakra (Frankincense and the “Grounding” blend from Young Living).

My alchemist friend, Joshua Pellicer, has gifted me with many delicious medicinal oils, which of course made the cut. Oil of iron, oil of gold, Oil of Sedona Red Rock and frankincense, and oil of vanilla. These oils fuel my space with a powerful energy of ALCHEMY.

Recently I did a live post in my Empowering Empaths Facebook Group on how to manifest your ideal job without feeling drained or controlled. Because of all the interest in this topic, I wanted to share it here. But first let me give you a little background:

For the past 6 years I have survived outside of the matrix. I don’t have any prior business experience, never took a marketing class, and frankly knew nothing about how to make money.

As an empath, I always struggled in the 9-5 environment. Work felt more like a battle than job, and often I left in tears wondering how other people were able to cope so easily with the intensity of the work environment. How were people so easily able to shut down their hearts and simply “grind it out?.” Many times I wondered if something was seriously wrong with me.

Eventually I WOKE UP and got FED UP with being controlled and drained by the world around me. I knew there had to be a way to thrive simply by being me — rather than trying to fit in a box someone else designed.

Most empaths are simply not an ideal match for 9 – 5 environments. Yet, we have these amazing skills and abilities that the world needs (and that people WILL pay you for), we’ve just been underused and under valued (primarily by ourselves).

Throughout the years, I have talked to countless empaths with the same dilemma: How to find a work environment where they can thrive, rather than feeling drained, manipulated, and controlled. My guess is that if you’re in this group, you’re probably wondering the same thing.

Well wonder no further!

IT IS ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE not only for you to thrive in your job, but to be abundant JUST FOR BEING YOU. In fact, being YOU is the greatest asset you have. You’re a master at it, and the world needs what you came here to BE.

So let’s get you on the path of freedom with 5 MINDSET SHIFTS that will help redirect your energy from the black hole of the matrix (which cannot bring you the life you desire), and put you on the track of more abundance than you ever dreamed possible!
